almost done with the build

this is my 5 lug taco that got passed down to me completely stock, i just put on some 235s and some ranger stocks and man does it make the truck look good lol. this is my first car and i absolutely love it. i still have to put in the 1 inch coil spacers so hopefully that goes smooth. pretty stoked on how it looks. any questions or suggestions lmk!

 

Congrats on your first vehicle. You will never forget it. I had no idea Ranger wheels was an option for 5 lug.

 

thank you man, yeah i just took a risk and bought them, they fit pretty well and i got them for a good deal.

 

Nice! What year ranger rims were these exactly? Looking to do something similar. Did you find any other options? 5 lug rims aren’t so easy to find sometimes

 

not sure exactly but they are on years from like 2000 to 2005 im pretty sure. they fit just fine

 

It looks awesome

 

Your truck looks amazing - any issues with the 235’s rubbing when you are turning?

I just got a stock 2003 5 lug and looking to put some 235 on it

 

@ab2003 thanks man, whenever i first pit the tires on they didnt rub on turning but whenever i went over some bug bumps or dips in the road at like over 25mph my tires rubbed the front bumper, then i installed the daystar coil spacer and it pretty much made me not rub anymore

 

@domzee thank you for the info man - truly a beautiful truck!

 

@ab2003 yea man the only thing i would say is that with you having an extra cab i dont think the daystar coil spacer will fully eliminate the rubbing just because of the extra weight of the truck, i put some 5 lug v6 coil springs and the daystar spacer and it gave me like 3-4 invhes of lift but i really wouldn’t recommend doing the v6 coils because it was super hard to install them and it rides really stiff, honestly i would just spend the 450$ on the lift spindles if you want to not rub at all with the 235s. Let me know if you ever have any questions man!

 

@domzee good note on the extra weight of the xtracab, and thanks for the help man, I have been doing a ton of research on tire sizes ‍

- I think I want to keep it stock height for now, I wonder if I put on some 225’s if it will rub at all (stock height) thoughts?

 

@ab2003 i ran 235s stock and didnt rub too bad so i think 225s would be fine stock height, also 2001 and up have wider fenders than my year so it will give you a bit more clearance
